The Wiltshire Air Ambulance is a unique service being one of only two air ambulances in the country which work as a joint project with the local police. The Air Ambulance Appeal is entirely dependent upon public support to raise the £350,000 a year to keep the service flying. This is only a quarter of the running costs of the helicopter. The remaining three quarters is funded by the police who use it for various incidents. |

| The Wiltshire Air Ambulance is not government funded, nor does it qualify for National Lottery Funding. It is purely down to the goodwill of the people of Wiltshire who have kept the helicopter flying for these past years. Over the years the crews have attended thousands of incidents. Sadly almost half the incidents are road traffic accidents, but it also gets called out to horse riding and sports injuries, industrial and farm accidents, fires and medical emergencies. The helicopter, a MD 902 Explorer, always flies with a crew of three which includes the pilot, the police observer and the paramedic. |
